LPGA players compared to Tiger Woods is like comparing well I'm at a loss of words.

I hope that parents take your advice and take their kids out and play rounds with their kids and show them how they should act while playing cause I know as well as many other folks who love and respect this game that when the camera and mic are on and your on stage its your chance.

Sad day in Golf when his actions on the course are treated this way. I was raised different. Guess I'm on the outside looking in.

Probably coming from the same generation who will leave ball marks on the greens, not seed their divots, talk on their cell phones on course, throw their putter when they miss etc etc etc..

Call me old school all you want but that is total BS and laughs in the face of what this sport is all about.

Of all people you should know that man.
You completely missed the NFL point. I wasn't talking about the players, I was talking about what your kids will hear while sitting in the stadium watching the game. They will hear a 1000X more cursing in one 3 hour game, than if they watched every shot of Tiger Woods for a season.

He said God Damn one time in four rounds and Nantz is up in arms. There are many more bigger fish to fry than that.

I'm certainly not personally offended by any language, least of all what Tiger may have said on Sunday, BUT, golf is supposed to be different, a GENTLEMAN'S game, where player's are held to the highest standards of any sport, a game where players enforce the rules on themselves.

Do not for a second pretend you are not a bastion of class and integrity while out on the links I know better.

Tiger has brought many great things to the PGA tour, but class and sportsmanship are not 2 of them.

i'm going out on a crappy flat par 63 course tomorrow morning.

maybe i'll curse less knowing it's a gentleman's game. probably not though.

i hate empathizing with billionaires but whatever flaws he has at least tiger woods helped make this somewhat more of an everyman's game.

i'd kick in the balls any of my hacker friends that used "darn" without irony.
